Good morning crafty friends, I hope you’re all had a good week so far. Mine has been a little frustrating which often happens in this crazy industry, but hey, I’m not going to let it get me down, there are plenty of other opportunities out there!

So, before I disappear to my office I wanted to share some shaped cards that featured in a magazine back in December….

These cards were great fun to make, I used the Pink Paislee Cedar Lane collection. I love the beautiful colours and subtle touch of sparkle.

These would be perfect for Mother’s Day. The template and instructions are in Issue 160 of Quick Cards Made Easy should you wish to have a go.

Hello crafty friends, I hope all is well in your crafty worlds! It’s always fun taking part in a blog hop and especially a WOW! one as the products are so fabulous!

There’s nothing better than Mr Postman turning up with a huge parcel of WOW! goodies. The latest products, including Sparkles are amazing!

For the blog hop I’ve created this simple card…..

I kept everything simple to show off the sparkle and shine of the latest glitters and powders. It’s difficult to see the true sparkle in a photograph but they really are dazzling! The new products can be found on the WOW! Website

The border was created with Jade Sparkles and the large hearts are from the Hearts and Twine Stamp Set with Sweet Cheeks powder (what a brilliant name). The smaller heart is embossed with Emerald City glitter…being a huge fan of The Wizard of Oz this is possibly the best named powder ever!

The tiny hearts are from the J’adore Stamp and the sentiment is from the Big Words Stamp Set. It’s embossed with Oasis regular powder. To find your local stockist have a look here.
